DVD Recorders

So what do you recommend in DVD recorders?

We had/have a LG combined DVD/VCR player that's 3 years old, and this morning after a blackout, the player decided not to power up anymore.

I've taken it to get looked at, but if it's going to cost too much to repair, then i'll replace it with a DVD recorder.

I've had a brief look this morning, there's basically with HDD or without HDD. Given cost considerations, i'll be looking at one WITHOUT HDD to reduce the cost. I'm just not enough of a couch potato to take advantage of those features.

So any particular model or brand I should look for, or steer clear of?

Having a brief look on ebay and elsewhere, it looks like I should expect to pay $200-$300.. is that about right?
It will mean sacrificing our old vidoes to the VCR gods (and buying star wars episodes 1,4,5,6 on DVD) but thems the breaks with technology. I wouldn't buy another VCR player/recorder. It's just not worth it.

Thoughts everyone?
